These Donor’s Choose projects directly benefit students at Chapman. Please choose your favorite one (or two or three), give what you can and remember to share them out to your personal social networks (easy-click buttons at bottom of this post). This is a great way for grandparents and friends outside of our parent community to benefit kids inside our community!

A 1:1 dollar match for Ms. McLaughlin’s project up to $50 is available only until August 31 by using the code RIPPLE.

If you need a whole pizza, this is your last chance to order. Email Kelly at kelly.r.farrell@gmail.com by NOON. Slices and water will be sold while they last starting at 6 p.m.

Remember to bring a blanket, your dinner and form of payment if you will be purchasing, gear or food!

Teachers will be located on the front lawn. After care, enrichment and other organizations will be by the covered area, including reps for our next community event, the SWIFT FAMILY RUN! Sign up is free, but required to participate!

Ice Cream truck line will go along the turf field. One free ice cream per attendee, while it lasts! If you have an ice cream fast-pass (because you volunteered at Community Cares Day) remember to bring it!

The new playground is not yet ready for use.

Finally, the social and picnic are great opportunities to catch up with those you know, but please remember to say hello to someone you don’t! We have a lot of new families joining us this year – let’s show them what makes our community extra special!

If you’ve been at Chapman for awhile, you’ll remember when classroom lists were posted at the ice cream social, making it the first “must attend” event of the school year.
That tradition has ended (you’ll receive classroom assignments via snail mail this week), but this year’s event includes important changes that make it just as essential and even more fun!

In addition to meeting your child(ren)’s classroom teacher, you’ll be able to:

All parents, students, staff and friends are invited to stay after the social and meet on the viewing hill for an early-season Swift Watch. (Or just socialize if the Swifts are late in arriving!) Bring your own picnic or purchase pizza/water.

EVENT DETAILS

DATE, TIME AND LOCATION: Thursday, August 23 at Chapman’s main campus. The social is from 4:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. The picnic is from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.

PARKING: Our friends at Montgomery Park (2701 NW Vaughn St) are making their lot available for parking. Biking/walking/public transport is highly encouraged!

Swift watch season is around the corner which means thousands of visitors from all over the city (and beyond) will soon be descending upon our viewing hill. Capture those eyeballs by marketing your business with a banner to be hung on our Steve Brand field. This is our premier sponsorship opportunity and starts at $750. A limited number of banners are available each year with priority for renewing businesses. Contact Nici Griffith for more information and to place your order.

UPDATE: Web feed now syncs to district/school calendar only as of 10/30/2018

The red calendar you will receive in your back-to-school packet was printed before many Chapman school event dates were established. Friends of Chapman maintains its own calendar with other important school-specific dates like holidays. It does not have grading period information or district-wide board meeting info.

If you’d like add/sync the Friends of Chapman calendar, here is the link:
